WATER CIRCULATION
The recirculation pump circulates the water during most of the cycle. During the
WASH cycle, it runs continuously for the first 3 minutes and then intermittently
throughout the cycle. During the RINSE cycle, it runs continuously as soon as the
appropriate amount of rinse water has been added. This recirculated water
enters the drum at the top of the door at a small shower head. This spray not
only keeps the window and gasket clean, it allows the clothes to be soaked with
detergent or rinse water more quickly and can be used to control an oversudsing
event.
The recirculation pump is separate
from the drain pump, but they are
attached to opposite sides of the filter
housing.
When the sanitary cycle is used, the
door will remain locked until the
laundry has cooled to a safe
temperature (below 45° C / 113°F).
The pumps and filter are located at
the bottom left front corner. The filter
can be unscrewed, cleaned, and
replaced by opening the small cover.
Use the small drain hose to evacuate
the water remaining in the bottom of
the tub before removing the filter. Do
not pull it out so far the hose is kinked
or water will not flow.
The drain pump is on the left and
exhausts the water via the gray
corrugated hose.
The recirculating pump is on the right
and recirculates water from the tub to
the shower spray at the top of the
door gasket via the smaller black
hose.
